Chapter 303: Agnes’ change
“Even our sister has risen from being the coolest woman to the coolest yandere.” Pepper commented.
“That’s true, she gets pretty scary now when it comes to Victor.” Lacus nodded.
“Well, they lived together for a year and six months, so naturally, her obsession grew.” Siena commented.
“…OHHHH…” The two reacted as if they had heard a divine revelation.
“Can you guys stop talking about me like I’m not here?” Ruby commented in a cold tone with a small vein bulging on her head.
whistle~
Lacus, Siena, and Pepper turned their heads and started whistling.
“…These bitches.” Veins started bulging all over Ruby’s head while she was wondering when her sisters had become so shameless.
“…” Victor displayed a small smile, he always liked to watch the interactions with the girls.
“Do any of you want to go train.” He looked at the Scarlett sisters.
“Hell no.” Siena was the first to flee.
“…I need to work in my lab.” Ruby ran away too, although Ruby would accept it if it was just Victor and her alone. After all, she could take the opportunity to do lewd things.
Ruby shook her head as she walked towards the mansion. She should get those thoughts out of her head! She was not like that!
‘It’s your fault, Victor.’ She thought while her face was a little red.
“…” The group looked at Pepper, who, as usual, was left behind by the sisters.
“Fueeh…?” She looked around and saw that at some point, Lacus had disappeared! She didn’t even say anything!
“How about you?” Victor flashed a small smile.
“…I…I…” She felt like accepting when she saw Victor’s smile, but when she looked at the group that was going to train and realized that there were only battle maniacs remaining or battle maniacs in development, she definitely didn’t want to go.
“I need to feed my black cat!” She quickly ran to the mansion.
“Those girls…” Scathach narrowed her eyes.
“Well, it’s no use forcing them to train if they don’t want to.” Victor touched his chin and approached Scathach.
“W-What?” Scathach backed away from Victor a little when she saw him approaching her.
“…Why are you-” He was going to ask why Scathach was so wary of him, but he stopped talking halfway and flashed a small smile.
‘It’s better to leave it at that. At least now, she’s looking at me like a man.’ Victor ignored Scathach’s attempts to get away from him.
And when he came close to Scathach, he brought his face close to her ear and began to speak.
“….” Scathach’s face turned a little red, her heart was beating very fast, but slowly that face started to change into a wicked smile when she heard what Victor said.
“That’s a good idea… I agree. You can take them.”
“But if I take them, won’t the Clan be unsupervised?” Victor asked.
“No problem, I should just ask Luna to take care of everything, and I’ll supervise if I need to.”
“Ugh…” Luna grumbled a little, but she had no choice if it was an order from Scathach. She predicted she’d be busy in the future.
“I see…” Victor flashed a dangerous little smile.
“RIP for the girls.” Eleanor made a gesture of prayer as she looked up to the sky.
“They will suffer in the future…” Sasha sighed.
“But isn’t that good? It is only with great difficulties that people improve.” Natashia laughed.
“…This is far from a standard difficulty. Victor is literally going to throw the girls to the lions.”
“That too is a form of love.” She laughed.
‘Love? Where? This is just madness.’ Eleanor rolled her eyes and was silent. She didn’t want to argue with Natashia because she had a thought that if in the past she had a choice, she would never have picked up a sword.
Once you pick up a sword to fight, you can never let go of that sword again.
‘Although not everything was bad. Because of that decision, I can defend myself today.’ In the end, she understood that every choice had its consequences.
She just didn’t agree with the methods of forcing people into a fate they didn’t want.
“Don’t worry, I will protect them.”
“…” Eleanor looked at Victor.
“How are you going to protect them if you don’t know what kind of…creatures they will face?”
“…” Victor’s smile grew.
“Who said I don’t know?”
“…How do you know if you’ve never been to my territory?” Eleanor’s eyes felt like knives that were piercing Victor’s body.
“That is a mystery.”
“….” Eleanor’s brow twitched a little.
“Anyway.” Victor approached Scathach and carried the woman like a princess.
“…Wha-.”
“I will go ahead. Luna, take care of things. Natashia, carry Eleanor.”
“Put me down.” She spoke in a cold tone but made no effort to free herself from Victor’s arms.
Victor displayed a gentle smile and said:
“…How about no?”
“…” She opened her eyes a little in shock.
Rumble.
And before she could say anything.
She felt her whole world slow down, and before she could understand anything, she was already in heaven.
“Come, Eleanor.”
“N-No, I’d rather go-.”
“Shut up.” Natashia carried Eleanor like a princess, and just like Victor, she ascended to the heavens.
“….” Looking at the two golden trails in the sky, Sasha sighed a little.
“You look tired Sasha.” Luna spoke.
“Yes, I’m mentally tired.” Sasha didn’t deny it.
To be honest, she was more worried than tired.
But she knew this was not the time for this. Victor would keep his promise, but just like her mother said, will it take a while…?
‘If that happens, I should just kidnap him…’ She shook her head several times to get that thought out of her head. For just a few seconds, she was almost influenced by her demonic mother.
She’s definitely not going to do something like that. After all, that wasn’t her style.
She was a nobler, kinder, and more caring woman.
.. But.
“If he takes too long, he won’t give me any choice.” Her eyes were pure darkness, a look Luna was used to seeing in Scathach and Ruby’s eyes.
‘Sigh, this is like a nest of snakes, they are all dangerous, and at the same time, they all get along well because of Victor.’ Luna always found this situation strange.
How can possessive women like these get along with each other?
The only answer Luna could come up with was Victor.
By accepting the advances of women and always paying attention to them, he ended up achieving an impossible feat.
He managed to make these women who have mental problems get along with each other…
‘Wait… Now that I think about it, isn’t this going well because the girls know each other?’ She touched her chin and started to think. She just ended up thinking that every woman who had any feelings for Victor was somehow related to the three wives.
‘Ohhhh… I get it, as the women are Victor’s Mother-in-law’s, they get along well with the other girls.’ Luna felt that she had discovered a very important secret from Victor.
‘So the answer was Oyakodon all this time.’
“I will go now. If something happens, don’t forget to let me know.”
“Yes, I will.” Luna responded unconsciously, as she wasn’t paying much attention to what Sasha said.
…
While Victor was going to train with his Maids, Scathach, Sasha, and Eleonor,
Violet was sitting cross-legged as she stared at a bed with a neutral gaze.
On the bed was a woman with long white hair, who was lying on the pillow as tears fell from her face.
“How long has she been like this…?” she asked in a careful tone.
“Since Victor left here…” Hilda spoke.
“…I see…” Violet lowered her head a little. To be honest, it had been hard for her too.
She was used to walking into this room and seeing her father sitting there welcoming her with a gentle smile… But that image would never be possible to see again.
‘My father is gone… And to make matters worse, by his own will…’ Now that she had a clearer head, she could understand Adonis’ feelings.
Yes, she could understand them… But she couldn’t accept it.
‘He’s very selfish… How can he just disappear without saying anything to anyone?’ Violet bit her lip, and small tears threatened to spill down her face.
“Violet…” Hilda touched Violet’s shoulder.
“… Yes, I know.” She wiped her eyes and said, “This is no time to cry.” She took on a serious expression.
“….” Hilda flashed a small smile of approval when she saw how quickly Violet recovered.
‘Can she be like that because she has that man always supporting her?’ Hilda was a little curious.
“How much do you know about the situation?”
“Only a little… But I can imagine more or less what happened…” Hilda was honest.
“Tell me what happened.” But she wouldn’t deny an explanation of what happened. It was better for her to work with real facts rather than speculation.
“This will take a while…” Violet said, and soon she started to explain what happened to Hilda.
…
30 minutes pass.
“I see…” Hilda could only say that after hearing Violet’s entire explanation. What else could she say? What’s done was done, and she wasn’t very good at comforting people. She never was.
Despite knowing Agnes since she was a teenager, Hilda could count on her fingers the times she ever needed to comfort Agnes.
The first time was when Agnes’ parents died, and the second time was when she discovered her uncle’s treachery against the Snow Clan.
After those times, Agnes never cried or became depressed again; she had become a strong woman… A little broken, after all, she had become a hedonist, but still, she was strong, and that was all that mattered.
“Now that you know, let’s work this out.” Violet got up from her chair and walked toward the bed.
She grabbed Agnes by the collar of her shirt and looked into the woman’s lifeless eyes, “What are you doing?”
“…” Agnes stared into Violet’s violet eyes, and for a moment, the image of Adonis seemed to replace Violet, but slowly, she began to wake up and saw that it was just her daughter…
“…Violet…”
“Yes, I’m your daughter.”
“And I’m asking, what are you doing?”
“… I don’t know…”
“Yes, I can see that.” She felt like rolling her eyes.
“When I decided to visit this place, I was expecting to see my mother furious as she looked for a way to make a fur coat of the Goddess Persephone.”
“….” Agnes’s brow twitched a little.
“But I never expected you to be in this pathetic state.”
Agnes’ eyes began to glow blood red, and anger began to build in her chest.
“How dare you… You don’t know how much I suffered!”
“You don’t know-.” Before Agnes could say more, Violet interrupted:
“Yes, I don’t know… The only thing I know is that my father died! And my mother is doing nothing!” Violet looked at Agnes with her red eyes.
“I’m not doing anything…? I literally did everything, and it still wasn’t enough-.”
BAAAAM!
Violet slammed her head into Agnes’ head.
“!!!” Hilda opened her eyes in shock.
“Ugh.” Agnes showed a pained expression, her daughter’s head was hard!
While keeping her face close to Agnes, Violet spoke with a furious expression:
“Do you want to cry!?”
“Do you want to be depressed?”
“Do you want to be alone?
“Do you want to mourn my father’s death!?”
“Do it after you get your revenge!”
Violet’s voice entered Agnes’ entire being and made Agnes’ entire existence visibly shake.
Looking into her daughter’s red eyes in a state of shock, she could see an intense fire burning inside her eyes, a fire that was being fueled by her hatred, a hatred that could burn the world if not managed correctly.
“Violet-.” Agnes looked like she was going to say something, but Violet didn’t want to listen.
Violet let go of the woman, “When that bitch pays for everything she’s done, when that bitch dies, when her whole existence burns in our fire…”
“Only when that happens are you allowed to feel depressed and mourn my father’s death… Until that day comes, I need you. I need the Countess of the Snow Clan.” Violet turned around and walked towards the exit of the room. When she touched the doorknob, she spoke without turning back:
“And do yourself a favor, and me… Seal this room.”
“W-Wait, where are you going, Violet?” Hilda asked.
“For my room, I will wait for my mother to become the woman I know, and in a way that I also respect.” She spoke in a cold tone.
Violet opened the door and left as she looked down the hall and walked forward aimlessly.
Walking around in a bewildered state, at some point, she arrived at her room.
She entered her room and closed the door.
And the moment she closed the door, her legs seemed to give out, and she fell to the floor.
She sat on the floor and put both hands on her head while crying silently…
“…This is hard, Darling…” She looked down at her shaking hands and displayed a depressing smile:
“You’re not allowed to mourn my father’s death, huh?” She displayed a disdain for those words.
She was asking for something impossible, as vampires, they felt everything more intensely, and even if they weren’t vampires,
She was a daughter… A daughter who had just lost her father.
No matter how strong she pretended to be, when she was alone, it all fell apart.
“Pathetic…” She clenched her fist tightly.
‘I said all that, but I can’t do what I said. Am I just a hypocrite?’
‘Father… you idiot…’
‘Darling… I’m sorry…’ Her emotional state was on the rocks.
She needed some time to herself, and because of that, she locked herself in her room.
Without Violet noticing, a shadow moved and left the room.
This shadow disappeared from the Snow mansion and appeared in the Garden, and the appearance of a woman with oriental features and long black hair appeared.
She looked at the Snow mansion and thought; ‘That’s what Lady Kaguya was saying…’
‘I must warn her about this… Count Alucard must know about this.’ The woman disappeared into the shadows again and ran towards the Scarlett clan’s territory.
Even though he was far away, Victor always kept an eye on Violet and protected her.
